vulnerability

Dear COVID-19,

Dear COVID-19,

When I first heard of you, you seemed so distant. You were an unfortunate disease that was far away overseas. I saw you in the news and had remorse for those around you, but my mind was filled with thoughts of our spring concert and fun plans for the weekend ahead.

I couldn’t believe it when my school closed classes because of you. We had just gotten back from spring break, the weather was warm, and the only thing on my mind was how cool school now was without any responsibilities. Intentions of beach trips and gatherings were emerging, and I was loving it.


Respond, Don't Just React

There is nothing we can do to reverse the chaos of COVID-19’s impacts that have shaken the world, but what we can do is take the opportunity to step back and question the ways in which we’ve lived our lives, and how we can make positive changes both for ourselves and those around us.
